she knows me so well...

Check out this terrible photo great-looking book! My sister sent it to me earlier this week. Oh, it is right up my street and I can't wait to read it. I've dipped my toe into one or two pages already and my hopes are high. Tales Grotesque And Curious?! Yes please and oh mama!

I need to finish The Luminaries first, but I'm already over halfway thanks to my rest-and-recuperation plans. Man oh man, The Luminaries is so good! Or so good so far, I should more accurately say. I'm totally hooked by all the twisting intrigue and shady characters. If, like I was, you're feeling put off or intimidated by its size and apparent/alleged complexity, don't be. It is big and clever, but it's also very easy to read and to get into. You'll be romping through it before you know it. Can it really stay this good right to the end? Oh, I do hope so.

Hello! I'm sorry that I've had to turn on the word verification feature again, but my inbox was being flooded with very dull spam. Genuine comments always brighten my day though, so thank you for taking the time to leave one :)

Hello!

I'm Laura and I live in Glasgow, Scotland.

I like sewing and drawing and cutting and sticking and printing and messing about on the computer and crochet and knitting (kind of). I try to blog about things I'm making, but mostly I end up blogging about anything I'm finding interesting: things other people are making, charity shopping, films, music, books, the city I live in, my cats... Since having a little girl, I've found she has kind of taken over my life and therefore my blog too. Your comments are always much appreciated and I reply to them in the comments section, so do check back. Thanks for stopping by!
